Here's an outline of everything I have gathered from this argument:
Past:
Awards were made available on the award portal before award letters were sent out. A few select people were able to actually view their awards before SMART caught wind of it, and closed it down. When it was closed, those who saw their award were given the "temporarily closed" message while those who had "incorrect password" continued to have the same message of "incorrect password". When awards were sent out, to no surprise, those with the "temporarily closed" message received awards.
Now:
SMART, learning from previous mistakes, has again implemented the closed message of "temporarily closed" so those with awards cannot see the award before official awards are sent out. Passwords, as it seems, cannot be changed by a candidate with either message, which virtually indicates nothing in favor of either side of the debate. For those with the temporarily closed message, you are likely just making it more difficult to accept your award when they are finally sent out. There is no doubt that all of our assumptions could be wrong, but there is no sense in arguing or attempting to disprove the theory when the process is only being made more difficult for ourselves and for SMART. To those of you with the "temp closed" message, be satisfied that you can be confident in your status as a candidate that will more than likely receive an award. To those of you with the "inc password" message, there is no meaningful way to disprove the history behind this, given that SMART is likely operating in the same way as last year, so the only remedy is patience and chance that we may all be wrong. The argument itself only serves to add to the already abundant anxiety of those who really want the award.
